Welcome.
As for the radio, playing or not, first see if it has been recapped.
If yes, we can go ahead and troubleshoot.
If not, recap first. Then resistors. Your tansformer is obviously OK otherwise it would not hum, and your speaker is too.
So,
1. Recap.
2. Check tubes.
3. Resistors.
4. Check coils for continuity.
5. Put tubes in, start troubleshooting and then align.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
